Ripogenus dam big release 7/4/13

Me and my honey doing some fly fishing for the week up to the Hunk for brookies. Was hoping to spend some time on the river. We didn't get the time fishing we wanted but the scenery from the big release made up for it.

I was thinking the same thing as you when I looked down at that pool. Where's a gold Panther Martin when you need one?

[@Biglandtrapper]

When the dams closed i catch brookies like crazy out of those pools. Fly fishing only though but still great fishing...

You should've seen the flow in the spring of 2013!

[@MrBarkspud]

Didn't see that one

[@briang6040]

Where is this? It's beautiful.

This is in other Maine on the west branch of the penobscot river, The lake is Ripagenus. I have few other vids of the river as well on here. best landlocked salmon fishing river in the country. they raft it alot to one of my favorite places to fly fish..

[@zachfield5336]

Theyre not landlocked salmon if theyre in a river that flows to the ocean. Its just not logical 😂.

[@zachfield5336]

Also, ive rafted the gorge created by McKay Station just downriver from this a mile or so. Probably the best rafting east of the mississipp.

That's not Ripogenus Lake. There is no such thing, it's Ripogenus Dam connected to Chesuncook lake.
